Enjoying the summer beverages is a very important aspect of our socializing as a society.  Today I talk about ways to include a beverage or two, which choices are a little better than others and how to still be the awesome human you are without the buzz.  If you want to listen to a great podcast that helps with the idea of becoming alcohol free I have included the link to the recoveryhappyhour podcast in these show notes.  

We are leaving on a jet plane.  Take a listen as to how I navigate being gluten-free and travel.

My daughter is going with her dad for a week of camping in Cypress Hills.  There is so much value in learning from the land that our kids just don't get enough of anymore.  The relationships built during these camping trips can not be simulated in the classroom and the idea that we can do hard things is proven repeatedly on these trips, to the point they are life-changing experiences.  Thank you Bert Fox for fighting to have the Outdoor Education experience return. The health benefits of this week will be felt for years to come. 

If you are wanting your body to change it will need to feel like it is changing.  It doesn't need to be scary though.  There are some really great recovery tools and strategies that can make it much easier to head into the next workout or potty break without fear. 

1. lacrosse ball

2. PVC pipe

3. foam roller

4. scraper

5. diet/breath work/ movement 

It is very rewarding to get to a place where you like yourself, and you know that you can't make other people like you, so you just get to be you! When you are your authentic true self the people who will gravitate toward you will be like-minded people who appreciate the imperfect human you are. 

A winning mindset is something we must practice and how we talk to ourselves matters.  You should wake up every day and say:

I am Smart.

I am Brave.

I am Strong.

I can do Anything.

I am Loved.

I love Myself.

On today's podcast I talk about how to practice responding to your reactions the way you want to handle life.

I am not sponsored and will not get paid anything for talking about these products but I love to listen to other people's favourite things episodes so decided this week to change it up and share mine.  The link to Larissa's page for the Lumispa is below.

No! No I don't think it is time to rip the bandaid when it comes to creating a healthy lifestyle.  Instead, let it be a slow, gradual process you can become comfortable with.  Being healthy and feeling good doesn't have to sting. Start by NOT buying just one thing that you know doesn't serve you well.   You will find a substitution for it and hopefully you will find one that makes you feel even better.  

Today I talk about inflammation, the immune system and joint pain.  Our bodies are full of hot army men and women fighting our fight for us until we start to weaken them.  Today I want to tell you how important it is to keep those Army members strong!
